	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	37.6% (±3.0 points)	34.6% (±5.0 points)	−3.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$72,286 (±$3,860)	$84,869 (±$7,201)	+17.4%	No measurable change after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.
